Farmagia is a cute dungeon crawler that has you control dozens of harvested battle buddies at once. Although it may look like there's a lot going on, it gets repetitive quickly and it frankly didn't do enough to keep me interested.

Code of Princess EX is a decent beat 'em up but it's nowhere near as good as Guardian Heroes which is clearly the game that it was inspired by. That being said, if you like half-nude ladies that some dude drew on his computer then I guess you should check it out.

It may not be much of a game but it's a worthy download as a silly distraction for kids to watch and have a few giggles. You might have a few yourself, too.

Ghosts 'n Goblins is a classic that has stood the test of time. Unfortunately, the same thing can't be said about Resurrection as it takes a bit too many missteps in trying to bring the arcade classic into the modern age.

Hot Wheels Unleashed is an okay racing game at best. If you want a much more enjoyable arcade-style racer with your favourite childhood toys then check out Beach Buggy Racing 2: Island Adventure which has its very own Hot Wheels Booster Pack DLC.

It's true that The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 features some undeniably addictive combat and character growth mechanics but the general tedium of its campaign makes it a tough action RPG to widely recommend.

Frank Rising offers a new dynamic to the classic Dead Rising gameplay but it also ends up feeling too limited to be thoroughly enjoyable. Either way, it's great to see the story wrap up in such a crazy way so it may be worth downloading for that alone.

After playing this latest offering from Jackbox Games, I hope they go back to the drawing board for next year's collection. This one is full of rehashes of their previous games as well as a popular board game genre yet nothing clearly stands out.

Spellspire is a simple and enjoyable word-forming RPG-like adventure but it doesn't quite do enough to create a memorable take on the genre. That being said, if you want to test your vocabulary then you can't go wrong by giving it a download.

The Deer God feels like a bit of a chore to play with simple missions and a lack of any interesting or varied level structure. Those who make it to the end may find themselves having a bit of fun in the final hour but I wouldn't fault any gamer who couldn't make it through the grudgingly dull and poorly-paced first couple of hours.

If you're looking for a casual puzzler that you can take on the go then Fill-a-Pix: Phil's Epic Adventure is worth checking out. Just make sure that you won't be disappointed by the casual easygoing experience before asking Phil to pour you a hot cup of tea.

Plantera is one of the cutest games that I've ever played. If you're in the market to chill out and observe adorable creatures working on a farm then you should ignore my score below and download this immediately.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 2 answers some questions and fails to deliver on other plot points. Although it provides a lot of optional endings and you learn more about Kat's life, the abundant glitches make it an only somewhat satisfying ending to the summer of '95.

Imp of the Sun is a beautiful game that I wanted to love but its frustrating gameplay issues definitely get in the way of the fun.

Thymesia is one of those games that you should take its reviews with a grain of salt because it's an obviously clunky game yet its combat can be super-satisfying for the very specific kinds of gamers that it's targeting. Everyone else will probably find it too irritating to play.

Although it's a huge letdown when compared to the timeless original, Devil May Cry 2 is still a solid and enjoyable 3D action game.

Haimrik has an immersive story but that's really all it has going for it as all you essentially do is solve simple puzzles and battle through minimalistic boss fights. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the story and I hope to see more similar storybook-style games in the future.

Your enjoyment of Azur Lane: Crosswave will almost entirely rely on your affinity for gawking at anime girls. If that doesn't align with your tastes then you'll likely be disappointed by the mostly tedious and repetitive experience offered here.

If you have a dark sense of humour then you'll enjoy your time with Little Misfortune's brief and unique campaign. Just don't expect to enjoy any sort of gameplay because aside from the odd interaction, there really isn't anything to do besides watch and laugh.

If you're a shoot 'em up aficionado who must play every single one in existence then Fast Striker will provide a worthwhile albeit unmemorable arcade-style experience. However, those not obsessed with the genre will find very little to enjoy here.

Although I love the original and most of the games that it inspired, I found Lunar Lander Beyond to ironically be a step back. Yes, it can still be a rewarding game but the sense of accomplishment will often only come after much frustration.

Detective Pikachu is a cute and fun little game but it only offers enough challenge to satisfy an elementary school student.

Skylar & Plux is a charming and fun little game but it's so ridiculously short and easy that I can't imagine any 3D platformer fan could fully embrace it. Then again, what other game stars both a lynx and an owl?

It'll warrant a few laughs and is rather fun in co-op but Death's Hangover doesn't really do much to break out of the Breakout mold.

Chinatown Detective Agency could be rewarding for the average pantomath and the story is intriguing stuff but if you don't enjoy doing your own research in order to progress in a video game then you'll likely find it to be more of an annoyance than a fun adventure.

If you want a simple fast-paced arcade puzzle game to play with friends then you certainly can't go wrong with playing Batu Ta Batu.

Although this short adventure doesn't have much in terms of gameplay and its story is predictable, A Memoir Blue does a good job of portraying the life of a young athlete in the spotlight while showing how she got there and how she deals with her personal struggles.

Single-screen shooters rarely pack as much firepower as Guns of Mercy - Rangers Edition does and it's quite fun to play with friends.

Simply put, I wish that Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind was more fleshed out when it comes to its basic brawler gameplay.

When it comes to shmups, Space Elite Force is the kind that's fun to mindlessly play as you watch a movie or wait for your proctologist.

Gang Beasts comes across more like a novelty than a fully fleshed out game but that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't fun.

Forming words while saving folks is a surprisingly fun formula and Highrise Heroes: Word Challenge provides satisfying puzzle gameplay.

The blend of twin-stick shooting and tower defense makes Otherwar an enjoyable yet standard-feeling formula that becomes repetitive quick.

Space Elite Force 2 carries on the tradition of the first game by offering light shoot 'em up roguelike fun that you can play with a chum.

There aren't many online-only first-person co-op puzzle adventure games so if you want something truly innovative, play this.

Surviving Nowhere Prophet's grueling world offers laidback gameplay but that is unfortunately undercut with some frustrating moments.

Although Astro Bears is merely an update to its predecessor, it's still a fun little party game that 4 players can enjoy together.

If you and your online pal liked We Were Here then playing this sequel should be a no-brainer. Just be cautious of its repetitive nature.

I had some fun with Super Rolling Heroes Deluxe and I'm sure you will, too, but it's still a frustrating and overly simplistic game.

Hidden Depths features some cool gear and an epic boss battle but its reliance on recovering oxygen definitely takes away from the fun.

As an admirer of trains, I enjoyed my time with Mini Trains a lot although it's a very simple game and feels like it should be in VR.

If it featured much more variety in its levels and no glitches then Ninja 1987 would be a must-play for retro action game fans.

As one of the most visually unique indies out there, I recommend playing Hotel Sowls although its campaign isn't all that challenging.

If The Knightling smoothed its annoying aspects out while making its gameplay feel more distinct, it would be a pretty good game for sure.

Pokemon Shield isn't a bad game but it certainly feels like one of the lazier entries in the long-running series. It still has the core things that make Pokemon great but it comes up short in a few too many areas. I didn't feel like my time was wasted but once I reached the end, I had no desire to turn it back on again which marks the first time a Pokemon game has made me feel this way.

X-Out: Resurfaced is one of the easiest shoot 'em ups that I've ever played but its ship customisation is so fun that it's still a solid game.

The blend of Survivors-like gameplay and puzzle-like inventory management makes God of Weapons stand out but it's still rather flat overall.

Brightstone Mysteries: Paranormal Hotel is a solid adventure game and one of Cateia Games' most unique offerings. I recommend it.

Watermelon Party is yet another solid purchase for adding to your local multiplayer party game playlist with is simple and fun gameplay.

There's certainly some fun to be had with the tricky gameplay of Street Power Soccer although its visuals are disappointingly dated.

Pokemon Shield isn't a bad game but it certainly feels like one of the lazier entries in the long-running series. It still has the core things that make Pokemon great but it comes up short in a few too many areas. I didn't feel like my time was wasted but once I reached the end, I had no desire to turn it back on again which marks the first time a Pokemon game has made me feel this way.

Gliding around while shooting ink to turn enemies into platforms is indeed fun but Save me Mr Tako: Tasukete Tako-San is still an old-school 2D platformer that could have done much more to stand out in such a crowded genre.

Smashing your opponent around destructible stages can be quite entertaining but this quick-time-based brawlfest doesn't have much longevity.

I wish that Pirates VR: Jolly Roger offered lootin' and ship-captainin' because its confusin' and frustratin' adventure just isn't all that jolly.

Tales from the Dragon Mountain: The Strix is a retro adventure game that's a bit too old-school at times yet it remains fairly rewarding.

Bake 'n Switch is a goofy arcade-style co-op game that features some fun mechanics yet its core gameplay remains rather flat.

Pokemon Shield isn't a bad game but it certainly feels like one of the lazier entries in the long-running series. It still has the core things that make Pokemon great but it comes up short in a few too many areas. I didn't feel like my time was wasted but once I reached the end, I had no desire to turn it back on again which marks the first time a Pokemon game has made me feel this way.

I wish that Shing! stuck with traditional controls because it offers a fantastic campaign but the controls make it much less fun.

Beating up folks with a motorcycle between your legs sounds like fun and it is. That being said, Road Redemption simply doesn't provide enough long-lasting gameplay to keep the average gamer entertained for longer than a couple of hours.

Chameleon is an enjoyable yet simplistic competitive puzzle game that's well-suited to wind down with after a long day.

Destructure: Among Debris is an incredibly fun and challenging brick-breaker that unfortunately suffers from some truly irritating bugs.

If you want to play a simplistic game while laughing at an unfortunate protagonist then Dandy Dungeon will surely fit the bill.

Witcheye is a solid game and it makes for a fun time whenever you want a quick fix of unconventional and challenging 2D gameplay.

Even as someone who can finish any Mega Man game before breakfast, I found Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril to be one maddeningly difficult game. It does a lot of things right, though, so it's worth checking out for any hardcore retro game enthusiast.

Hilarious premise aside, Double Kick Heroes is a solid albeit simple rhythm game with a great soundtrack that you can rock out to.

Although I enjoyed my time with Deleveled, it definitely has its frustrating moments. However, I still recommend it to 2D puzzle fans.

As far as simple Metroidvanias go, Guns of Fury is a solid one that's definitely worth playing as long as you don't mind a little monotony.

If you like Lil Gator Game then you'll want to check out the adorable Mail Time as well even if it doesn't quite reach the same heights.

The silly hand-drawn animations in Cruel Bands Career really amplify its unconventional gameplay and it's certainly worth experiencing.

If you like the idea of tilting your Switch to guide marbles inspired by African wildlife then you're sure to enjoy Marblelous Animals.

In the end, Z-Warp is a simple shoot 'em up that doesn't do much out of the ordinary but it's still a blast for the short while that it lasts.

Although its combat is basic and floaty, Royal Revolt Survivors is a solid game with its cast of unique characters and fun multiplayer aspect.

As one of the cutest and most laidback Metroidvanias I've played, I can easily recommend Jumper Jon to anyone looking for a breezy time.

Simply put, if Skully featured a lot more fine-tuning and forgivable gameplay then it would have been a must-play 3D platformer.

Even as a huge fan of the series, it's difficult to thoroughly enjoy Wonder Boy in Monster Land in this day and age. That being said, playing it is a great way to experience the origins of the franchise that we know and love.

Picross veterans may be disappointed with PictoQuest's lack of challenge but there's no denying that it's a solid and cute little game.

It's certainly not as smooth as Taito's 1989 classic Cameltry but Naught is still a fun and challenging indie where you control the stage.

If you fit in Vambrace: Cold Soul's niche audience, you'll definitely have a fun time but overall, it's a tough game to widely recommend.

Although I had fun playing Ponpu, it made me want to dive back into Bomberman as it isn't quite as satisfying as Hudson's classic.

With simple and repetitive gameplay that's impressively tight and entertaining, Uragun doesn't do much to break out of mediocrity.

If you want a challenging platformer that often feels like a puzzle game then Sunblaze will be a welcome addition to your digital library.

It may star one of the silliest-looking protagonists ever yet Dininho Adventures offers some rewarding old-school platforming fun.

Not everyone will enjoy Agatha Knife's off-putting world but those who do will find a lot to like about this quirky adventure game.

If you want to inject some festive fun into your Switch library then guiding Santa along tiles makes for a nifty little puzzle game.

I had a decent amount of fun with Mineko's Night Market and if there's ever a sequel, I hope they make the gameplay more engaging.

Takotan is a barebones and occasionally annoying horizontal shoot 'em up yet it manages to remain charming and fairly enjoyable.

When it comes to shoot 'em ups, Grood is a capable indie although it doesn't do all that much beyond the very basics of the genre.

Cyberpunk 2077 is a frustrating mess. Its main narrative and characters are compelling but it's all within a game so buggy that, in terms of games with good stories and botched launches, it gives Fallout: New Vegas a run for its money. While I enjoyed my time in Night City because of its solid writing and characters, I cannot give Cyberpunk 2077 a recommendation.

As a huge fan of Volfied, it's clear that Mokoko X doesn't live up to the classic which is a shame because there's a lot of potential here.

I had a great deal of fun with subpar pool at first but that fun quickly turned into repetition so keep that in mind before cueing up.

I had a lot of fun with Boxed In and its intuitive yet challenging score-chasing mechanics but that fun is best enjoyed in short bursts.

Super Crate Box has been around for a handful of years and it's still a highly enjoyable albeit simplistic arcade score chaser.

Even though there is a lot of content in Braveland Trilogy, it's still a very simplistic take on SRPGs that doesn't offer anything new.

Suika Game is an entertaining bite-sized puzzler that can be a lot of fun for a few minutes at a time but it could use much more content.

Dragon Takers isn't a bad RPG but it's certainly a generic one in many of its facets. What's here is still promising, though; I'll give it that.

If its gameplay was more fine-tuned, Paperman: Adventure Delivered could have been a great throwback to PS2-era platformers.

I sincerely wish that Boti: Byteland Overclocked was more fine-tuned before its console debut but what we have is still a solid platformer.
